Thanks to its location in an exceptional collaborative environment, namely the Belval Innovation Campus, LIST accelerates time to market by maximising synergies with different actors, including the university, the national funding agency and industrial clusters, such as the Luxembourg Automotive Components Cluster.

Products & services

Application-Driven Research (MRT Dept)

The MRT department develops innovative solutions through application-driven RDI projects, based on our research expertise and technologies. Industry-scalable and unique production processes are used to functionalise surfaces, deposit thin layers and produce innovative nanostructured an functional materials for industrial applications. Processes enable to precisely tune the composition, structure and architecture of materials in order to meet industries requirements. The activities of the MRT department include the design, the elaboration, the development of the functionality and durability of multifunctional polymeric and composite materials.

Artificial accelerated aging: exposition to temperature, humidity and artificial light controlled environments, as well as salt spray atmospheres, with ability to combine aging with performance under mechanical or electrical loads

Numerical Simulation (MRT Dept)

Through the use and development of mathematical and numerical modelling, the MRT department can assist with design, research new features and optimise materials, processes and structures

Life Cycle Sustainability and Risk Assessment (ERIN Dept)

The Life Cycle Sustainability and Risk Assessment unit (LISRA) of the Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) department develops methods and tools for integrative sustainability assessment of products and technologies (e.g. Life Cycle Assessment – LCA) leading to the definition and implementation of resources and energy efficient and Circular Economy strategies. The unit also develops realistic and reliable toolbox for environmental and human risk assessment to support the correct prediction of the risk associated with chemical mixtures, with a clear focus on nanomaterials, and dust.

The e-Science Unit of ERIN has developed expertise in the analysis and the visualisation of complex big data issued from simulation, field observations and/or lab experiments.
Typical questions addressed by the e-Science team are exploration of high-dimensional data resulting from simulation runs, advanced analytics of sensors data, visual analytics of complex systems, augmented reality to support advanced interaction, scalability problems related to data analytics and visualization, HPC-related issues... The e-Science team works together with domain experts to provide them with advanced techniques and tools to gain insight into their complex and/or large datasets.

Decisional Knowledge Dynamics (ITIS Dept)

The Decisional Knowledge Dynamics (DKD) unit is working as a multidisciplinary, experiment-driven, creative and product-oriented team on the various aspects of complex human, data and object systems, the so called Internet of (Every)thing for collaborative, pervasive and ubiquitous, design, problem solving and decision making tasks. Its gathers competencies on electronics engineering, signal processing, computer science, knowledge technologies, and psychology to develop applied research on collaborative, adaptive and personalised systems; crowd-computing; multi-user natural interaction among and between users, devices, and their context; knowledge and skills embedded assessment; as well as model management and large knowledge-base evolution.
The unit explores applications in various domains such as Smart Cities (from building to districts, including construction, mobility, logistics, citizen, eHealth and well-being aspects), FinTech and Smart Manufacturing.
It also operates a collaborative multi-user interaction lab with experimentation and digital fabrication capabilities ranging from sensing with various platforms, to actuating with connected objects, and to advanced natural interface devices and protocols.
